President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack as Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, with effect from August 14, 2024.
Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday, recalling that Mrs. Walson-Jack was appointed as Federal Permanent Secretary in 2017 and has served in several Ministries.
It is understood that the new HoCs will take over from the incumbent Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan, who is due to retire on August 13, 2024.
“President Tinubu, while thanking the outgoing Head of Service for her stewardship, tasks the incoming Head of Service to discharge her duties with innovative flair, integrity, and stringent adherence to the extant rules and regulations of the Civil Service of the Federation,” Ngelale said.
